The BMW of full-size sedans, the 750 offers all the indulgences of executive-class travel, backed by the muscle of a twin-turbo V8. It's an ideal fit for the buyer who yearns for a swift and silky cruiser that delivers a high level of driving satisfaction.

What's New For 2015

A leather dashboard cover and full LED headlamps are now standard.

Choosing Your BMW 750

Every 750 gets a 4.4-liter turbocharged V8 engine with 445 horsepower matched to an eight-speed automatic with selectable performance modes. From there, you have a choice of rear- or all-wheel drive (known as xDrive) and the standard or extended wheelbase. The stretched model, which carries the suffix Li, offers a larger rear compartment with additional comfort features. Both models can get an upgraded adaptive suspension and four-wheel steering as standalone options.

Because the 750 competes in highest luxury class, you can expect an avalanche of standard equipment. Such features include a premium leather interior with multicontour heated front seat and driver memory, power soft-close doors, a hands-free power trunk lid, voice controls, a navigation system, a slew of integrated smartphone apps and a 16-speaker Harman Kardon surround-sound system. You also get a rearview camera and front and rear parking sensors. The 750 rides on 19-inch alloy wheels.

For an extra measure of luxury, the Executive package provides extended leather interior trim, ventilated front seats, a head-up display, power rear sunshades and ceramic-finish controls. Li models can also get a Luxury Rear Seat package with ventilated and massaging rear seats with power adjustments. Massaging front seats are available on any model as an individual option. A range of upgraded interior finishes and materials are available with the Individual Composition package.

The most useful addition to the 750 is the Driver Assistance Plus package, which piles on some pretty advanced safety technology for a reasonable fee. Everything else is a matter of personal taste and whether you want to push the 750 in the direction of luxury or sport.
